Wireworking, a craft that began in the early 17th century, has long been popular with artists and collectors, but recently it has become a hot commodity in the home-furnishings market as well. Surprisingly affordable yet exceptionally decorative, wire pieces are showing up in a variety of imaginative forms for uses throughout the home and garden. Its humble fabrication fits in well with the simpler, less contrived interiors so current now.
